While you might hear that your hands give away your age, that’s no reason to throw them up and surrender. As we get older, our hands start to show spots that we’d rather not see. Take a look at these natural ways to lighten sun spots.

1. Apple cider vinegar

Apple cider vinegar is excellent at closing your pores due to its acidic pH.

Applying it externally three times a week will help lighten your sun spots — as well as soften and brighten your hands.

Do you want to lighten sun spots on your hands but can’t stay inside long enough to use the citrus remedies? Well then, this recipe with rose water is for you. In addition to being very gentle, it’s super hydrating and a good exfoliant.

Ingredients

2 teaspoons of rose water (10 ml)

3 tablespoons of baking soda (30 g)

1 tablespoon of honey (25 g)

Application

Combine the three ingredients well.

Next, apply to the area with sun spots and wait 20 minutes.

Then, wash off with cold water.

Apply daily until the problem is taken care of.

8. Radishes and honey

Although this one may not be as common as the rest, it’s very effective.

The three ingredients have lightening powers that work together to enhance the effect.

Ingredients

1 medium-sized radish

2 tablespoons of honey (50 g)

1 teaspoon of turmeric (5 g)

Application

First, process all three ingredients in a food processor until a paste is formed.

Apply to your sun spots and massage the mixture in for 5 minutes.

Let sit another 10 minutes and rinse with cold water.

Repeat twice a week.

When you use any of these home remedies, always keep an eye out for an allergic reaction. If you see something suspicious, stop right away.

Take care of your hands no matter your age

Sun spots show up for many different reasons. They are more common in women because of hormonal changes.

If you already have sun spots and think it’s too late to do anything about them, just try to be consistent. And if you’re young, start now and take care of your skin.
